Abstract

The possibility of formation of detonation nanodiamond (DND) protostructures in the plasma of a chemical reaction zone in the form of a fractal carbon network with spatially ordered carbon nuclei in its nodes is shown; the density of the nodes should be in the range of 2.5–3.2 g/cm3. Upon passing through the Chapman–Jouguet plane, the plasma carbon formations crystallize into DND or amorphize. Detonation nanodiamond is formed at a distance of one third to three quarters of the charge diameter from the detonation wave front. Under optimal conditions, around 20 wt % of total explosive carbon is utilized for the formation of DND.
